This book asks how the inhabitants and neighbours of the Eastern
Roman Empire understand their identity as Romans in the centuries
following the emergence of Islam as a world-religion. Its answers
lie in exploring the nature of change and continuity of social
structures, self-representation, and boundaries as markers of
belonging to the Roman group in the period from circa AD 650 to
850. Early medieval Romanness was integral to the Roman imperial
project; its local utility as an identifier was shaped by a given
community's relationship with Constantinople, the capital of the
Roman state. This volume argues that there was fundamental
continuity of Roman identity from Late Antiquity through these
centuries into later periods. Many transformations which are
ascribed to the Romans of this era have been subjectively assigned
by outsiders, separated by time or space, and are not born out by
the sources. This finding dovetails with other recent historical
works re-evaluating the early medieval Eastern Roman polity and its
ideology.
